BASIC PROGRAMMING
When the 918 EntryCheck™ is in Programming Mode, the
yellow indicator will blink slowly. This shows that the 918 is
ready to accept new programming data. Use the programming
commands on the following three pages to enter new data.
After a data entry command is complete, the yellow indicator will
flash rapidly while the data is being stored. The green indicator
will light if the data is accepted. The red indicator will light if any
programming data is entered incorrectly, and the command will
have to be fully re-entered.
Entering Programming Mode
The 6-digit Master Programming Code (default = 123456) is
used to enter Programming Mode.
Press: # 9 # Master Code#
Master Code = the current 6-digit Master Programming Code
Exiting Programming Mode
Press: * * #
The red indicator will light after exiting Programming Mode
Note: The 918 will automatically exit Programming Mode after
two minutes of inactivity
Re-entering a Command After a Mistake
If the red indicator lights, signaling an incorrect entry, or an
incorrect key is pressed during programming, to clear the
keypad and re-enter the command:
Press: * 9 #
Setting Entry Code Length Default: 4 digits
Press: 0 3 # Length #
Length = 1-6 for entry code length
Note: If the Entry Code Length is going to be changed from the factory
default of 4 digits, make this change first before programming any entry
codes.
Adding a New Entry Code
Press: 0 1 # Code # Code # Relay #
Code=The new entry code: 1-999999, depending on code length
Relay=Relay output entry code will activate:
1=Main Relay 2=Auxiliary Relay 3=Both Relays
10=Relay #1, toggled 20=Relay #2, toggled 30=both Relays toggled
12=Relay #1 toggled; Relay #2 timed open
21=Relay #1 timed open; Relay #2 toggled
The yellow indicator will flash quickly while the 918 searches its
memory for available space and duplicate entries. The green
indicator will light when the new code is stored.
If the new entry code chosen is already being used for another entry
code, the red indicator will light. A new unique code needs to be
entered.
Note: Leading zeros (zeros before the code number, i.e.0001) do not need to
be entered when programming a new code. The 918 will internally add any
zeros to fill digits determined by the entry code length setting. Leading zeros
will have to be entered by the user when entering their code to gain access.
Changing the 6-Digit Master Programming Code
Press: 9 8 # Master Code # Master Code #
Master Code=The new 6-digit Master Programming Code
New master code: ____________
Typical Programming Example
Program all normal entry codes to use the Main Relay (Relay #1),
and only Relay #1 as the output relay. See the following example
that sets entry codes 1234 for normal, timed entry and 5678 for
toggle operation.
Press: 0 1 # 1 2 3 4 # 1 2 3 4 # 1 #
01=Programming Step; 1234=Entry Code; 1=Main Relay
Press: 0 1 # 5 6 7 8 # 5 6 7 8 # 10 #
01=Programming Step; 5678=Entry Code; 10=Toggle Main Relay
Programming the 918 To Hold the Output for an Extended Period of
Time (e.g., Normal Business Hours)
SDC’s EntryCheck™ products have a programmable “Toggle
Mode” available for each relay. When an output is programmed for
Toggle Mode, the output alternates from OFF to ON or from ON to
OFF each time it is activated. When output is toggled on, the
green LED flashes until toggled off.
The rules for a toggle output are:
If the output is OFF, entering a toggle code will turn ON
the selected relay, and stay on until the next activation of a toggle
code. NOTE: Entering a timed code OR activating the REX input
will not turn off a relay that has been toggled ON.
If the output is ON, entering a toggle code will turn OFF
the selected relay and stay off until the next activation of a toggle
code, timed code, or REX.
Erasing a Single Entry Code
Press: 0 2 # Code # Code #
Code=The entry code to delete
The yellow indicator will flash quickly while the 918 searches its
memory for the code to erase. The green indicator will light when
the code is erased.
